Staff Software Engineer, Observability & Profiling

Requirements

  • Have hands-on experience building and operating large-scale observability or monitoring infrastructure
  • Have deep, hands-on experience with observability signals end to end—from instrumentation through ingest to query and analysis
  • Understand high-throughput telemetry pipelines and the tradeoffs involved in collecting, storing, and querying operational data at scale
  • Are comfortable digging below the application layer into the kernel, the network stack, or the hardware
  • Have excellent communication skills and enjoy partnering with internal teams to improve their operational visibility and incident response capabilities
  • Are excited about building foundational infrastructure and comfortable navigating ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges, both independently and with a team

Nice to Haves

  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience, including building and operating large-scale observability or monitoring infrastructure
  • Experience building or operating eBPF-based observability in production—tracing, profiling, or network visibility
  • Experience running continuous profiling at fleet scale, including managing overhead budgets and symbolization
  • Kernel- and syscall-level debugging experience and performance engineering craft
  • Experience profiling or instrumenting accelerator workloads
  • Experience operating metrics systems at very high cardinality, or large-scale telemetry storage backends
  • Experience with OpenTelemetry instrumentation, collector pipelines, and tail-based sampling strategies
  • Interest in applying AI/LLMs to operational workflows such as automated root cause analysis, anomaly detection, or intelligent alerting

What You'll Be Doing

  • Design and build scalable telemetry ingest and storage pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and error data across Anthropic's multi-cluster infrastructure
  • Build observability solutions that give engineers deep, low-overhead visibility into system behavior across the fleet
  • Own and evolve core observability platforms, driving migrations and architectural improvements that improve reliability, reduce cost, and scale with organizational growth
  • Build instrumentation libraries, SDKs, and eBPF-based auto-instrumentation to emit high-quality telemetry, with and without code changes
  • Reduce mean time to detection and resolution by building cross-signal correlation—from kernel-level events up to application traces—unified query interfaces, and AI-assisted diagnostic tooling
  • Drive fleet-wide efficiency by turning continuous profiling and utilization telemetry into actionable optimization insights across CPU, memory, and accelerator fleets
  • Partner with Research, Inference, Product, and Infrastructure teams to ensure observability solutions meet the unique needs of each organization

Perks and Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Optional equity donation matching
  • Generous vacation and parental leave
  • Flexible working hours
  • Lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
